The Resistance OF the Atmosphere

The Resistance OF the Atmosphere
From Prof. Langley's illustrated
paper on comets and meteors in the
January Century we quote as follows:
Everybody has noticed that if we
move fan gently, the air parts be-
fore it with little effort, while, when
We try to fan violently, the same air
is felt to react; yet ii we 60 on to say
that if the motion is still more violent,
the atmosphere will resist like a solid,
against which the fan, if made OF iron,
would break to pieces, this may seem
to some an unexpected property OF the
"nimble" air through which we pass
daily. Yet this is the case, and if the
motion is only 80 quick that the air
cannot get out of the way, body
hurled against it will rise III tempera-
ture like a shot striking an armor-
plate. 1t is all question OF speed,
ald that of the meteorite is known to
be immense. One has been seen to fly
over this country from the Mississippi
to the Atlantic in an appreciably

You Have Eaten Rabbits.
From the Chicago Herald.

"Yes," said a Madison Street butch
er, "you've seen dead rabbits hanging
in front OF this market for the past
ten years, but they are not the same
rabbits. Oh, no. Do we ever sell any !?
Once in a while. You have eaten rab-
bits, haven't you? No? Oh, / guess
you have Ever eat canned chicken !?
/ thought so. Then you have eaten
rabbit. Frozen rabbits will keep for
forty days. If, during that time they
cannot be sold, they are gobbled up
by the canned meat men and chopped
into chicken. So, you see, if you don't
eat rabbit one way you do another.
